Hey. I haven't had anyone who I have known do that - but I have heard that it isn't all THAT uncommon. How did you find out about it? Did he tell you himself? How does he feel about it? Is he unhappy about it / does he want to change it?

I would say that if so... It would be worth going to a GP to get a referral on to see a psychologist / psychiatrist who has some experience with treating the disorder. Hopefully your husband will be able to come to an understanding of why he does it (what he gets out of doing it) and will figure out alternative ways of getting whatever he needs without doing that.

This must be fairly distressing for you. Hang in there, though, people with this kind of disorder can be helped.
